HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

(AusbernardMunstead Wood
Bears very deep, velvety crimson blooms, with lighter coloured outer petals.  They are large cups at first, becoming shallowly cupped with time.  There is a strong Old Rose fragrance with fruity notes of blackberry, blueberry and damson notes.  The bushy, spreading growth forms a broad shrub; the young red-bronze leaves later turn mid-green.  David Austin, 2007. [...]
Munstead Wood was the name of the horticulturalist and garden designer Gertrude Jekyll’s home in Surrey, England.  It was designed by the architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens, whose professional partnership with Jekyll was one of the most influential of the Arts and Crafts movement.  Gertrude Jekyll wrote her many gardening books at Munstead Wood and it was her home for most of her life.
